Do You Want to Play a Game?

Who would like to play a game of blog tag? What exactly is blog tag, you are asking? Well it serves two purposes actually. It gives us all a chance to flex our writing muscle, and it gives us a chance to promote our blogs in a fun manner. I haven't done this in a long time, but I was thinking it is probably time to try it again.

Here's how the game works:

1. I will post the first couple of pages of a story on The Creativity Whacko.2. Someone will take on the creation of the next couple of pages to the story and post them to their own blog with a link at the beginning stating where the previous part is located, and a link at the end asking for a volunteer to take on the next part.3. I will then add a link to where the next part is located at the end of the first part, and then re-share the first part to make sure that people know where to go for the continuation.4. Whoever is up next will write the next part, and post it to their blog with a link back to the previous part, and the writer who did the second part will add a link to the next part and re-share the second part.5. This process will continue until nobody is willing to do another part. Whoever ends up with no volunteers can tell the people before them, and of course they can take up the next part, or ask people who responded in their comments that they want to play along, if they want to take up the next part.

If you would like to play the game, please leave a comment requesting to do so. The first person to request will be the first person picked, but please leave a comment if you would like to play along as well in case the well runs dry, and we can come back and beg you to jump in. As I said before this will test your writing muscle, but it will definitely drive some new visitors to your blog.

For those that are curious as to what the subject will be of the story I start, I am going to start it off a bit dark and macabre, so if that is not actually your thing the DON'T BE A FREAKING COWARD! Seriously, you'd be surprised how much fun blog tag can be.

I have been bouncing around online for just about 20 years, so I have been there and have done that. It doesn't mean I didn't like it and wouldn't do it again. As most humans, I am a social animal. To be a social animal on the internet it is social media that binds us all together. I prefer Google + and Twitter but have pages on the other ones that I ignore, so you probably should too.

My Blogging

I blog a lot. If you don't like people that blog a lot then I don't know how you got here to begin with. You may want to just move along.

Contrary to popular opinion I hate politics, but have political opinions ..

The easiest way to get under my skin is to apply the "all you talk about is politics" tag. This is a common knee jerk reaction some have when they see something political, and unfortunately I don't hold back sometimes. As a matter of fact, I share more about health, fitness and blogging than politics, which you would know if you weren't busy dismissing me. I actually follow and interact with more people that disagree with me than agree with me politically. The list of "other than politics" seems to be growing everyday and it probably looks a lot like this:
